@ronaldmcreagan: So tedious. I mostly loved the game but was so put off by that last level requirement. Basically forced me to endure those boring side quests that often tried to make the world's even more boring politics exciting.

Played the demo and really enjoyed it. Will probably pick it up eventually. Also, props to Nintendo for the relatively small graphical disparity. I was quite impressed with how the visuals looked given the aging 3DS hardware.

I just don't understand why the aesthetics are listed as the sole "Good." I think this game looks awful -- like, it somehow looks worse than Yoshi's Island DS, which doesn't make sense given that the 3DS is much stronger hardware.
